I gave you a logical statement to prove that since your premise is wrong, your argument is futile.

If possession football predates Tikitaka then it is impossible to say that possession football is Tikitaka

No need to waste your blue fonts if you cannot understand this

Nothing here shows the difference between Tiki Taka and possession football. What is the difference?

Philosopher1979:


Why would nff want enyrama leave the team. You don't alginate your most experienced and best players. He could have stayed longer to mentor the younger goalkeepers.
Mikels experience too was badly needed.
I mean is the nff trying to sabotage Nigerian football. I mean the absence of mikel and enyeama was badly felt when they left. Its funny.

The bolded is the very key question that has remained a mystery to me.

This is a good news and at the same time a bad news. More talents will be unearthed bit Chelsea is the wrong team for young talents. If Dem no use multiple loans frustrate them, something else go happen.

Super Eagles need OT abeg. cry
See the level of dedication and dexterity these Spaniards and Germans are doing just to stay in the game. See how the Germans took the game to them. See how all the big names are doing everything for their young manager. Young manager doesn't even need stand or shout. See the level of back to back teamwork over personal glory. See how Lamine gave that assist to Olmo. I know two wingers in SE that will want to dribble to futility and ruin the flow of the attack that led to that goal instead of looking and passing to a better teammate.


See how the misses didn't even impact their resolve to get an equalizer. See the efficiency of having crossers of the ball when everything available in tactics has been almost exhausted. See how a big name gets subbed off and not even a pin drops or noise or chaos or disrespect.

Perhaps, talent is not what makes these guys top. Their zeal to bare it all in 90 or 120 is the big difference.


Also see how the passes are sleek and cool even in tight corners you don't expect anything to happen.


We need to do better.

At the end of the day you can only do this with players with zeal and passion for the game.... And from the looks of things those players lack it.

Did you watch AFCON at all?


Did you see Osimhen assist to Lookman against Cameron


Did you know the mental strength it took Ekong to score both penalties against South Africa and all other penalties he scored in that tournament


Did you know how impressive Nwabali was against South Africa and even went on to save two penalties in the penalty shootout


Did you know how solid our defence was against cote d'Ivoire in the group stage match


Ekong, Aina , Sanusi and Osimhen who Played their hearts out even with injuries


You guys just look for any slightest opportunity to discredit our players
And it's not good
The same Spain and Germany you are praising today we all saw how they performed in the last world cup

I watched a few minutes if our last 2 world cup qualifiers and noticed a serious attitudinal problem. The players were not willing to work hard for the team and were very lazy and uncommitted.
No amount of world class coach can work with such an attitude. They will not play like this for their club and come to nigeria to play nonsense. I don't know if it's the fact they didn't respect finidi or their match bonus is not Bern paid. The players just were not committed in those two matches.
It was showing in their body language.
Any one coaching us next has to work on the attitude of these players and introduce competition into the team.
They know if they play nonsense in Europe or in their club they will be benced and sent to Latvian 3rdvdivision so they give their best. The European league most of them play in won't tolerate nonsense from them but here in Nigeria they feel irreplaceable and bigger than their coach

Like the last Nigerian team I've seen bare it all like that till the end na 1st Atlanta 96 squad, then Siasia Dream team III or IV. The 2014 WC squad vs France also did so. Everyone wan die ontop that pitch. We got disallowed goal and France looking ordinary until Onazi tackled.

The sad fact is that mostly, these boys play for themselves and fans but that NFF always love doing everything to be the despicable constant in the whole equation. Then bad eggs among the players are born when they see how the leadership are cooking all sort of broth while handling sporting affairs.

Germany lost but they gave it their all even with two vets in Muller and Kroos in the lineup.

You guys are getting me all wrong. Don't. I watched AFCON and saw it all. But am talking about the present setup and also a matter of sustenance of such OT. Not this off and on.

Discredit? Come off it. We just need this mentality regardless of hierarchy. Most times we see such zeal, the players do it by themselves and for themselves and history, not because the house is in order.

My other reply i had to use the siasia level because it is close to the game tonight.

The bottomline remains that attitude has been a consistent problem in the SE, regardless of manager. Ego battles and what have you.

We need it abeg. We currently lack it and we need it back if it was ever lost.

Nigerians especially super eagles fans across social media, infact football fans generally have short memories.
once their team start playing badly its seen as though its their habit over the years, they will jus totally forget the glory days/moments and times the players gave their best
